Using someone's skull, from a real deceased person who once had a real life and a real story, using that for Hollywood FX crosses a decency line to me. Yeah, not thrilled to learn that.
For the record (and I guess not that it makes a difference) the skull wasn't used in the suit, just the sculpt (and would not be the first or last human bone Giger used in his art. The ridges on top of the head are snake bones.)
During the 70s it was often cheaper to use actual body parts than fake ones in movies, helped in part by a dodgy underground bones from India. Most/all of the dead bodies at the end of
Poltergeist are real for this reason.

I hope their families don't mind burying headless corpses, because I don't believe Cremation Services accept requests like "Burn everything but the head!" 
Best case scenario the person's body was sold by the family in a developing nation to help make money; worst case scenario, the body wasn't headless when it went in the ground
